Packing your tablet

Remove all peripheral devices and cables. Remember to pack those you will
need while traveling, and do not forget to pack at least one tablet pen.

Attach the Hard Top or slip the Gateway Tablet PC into its portfolio to
protect the display.

Protect the pen by keeping it in the tablet’s pen holder during travel.

Pack the Gateway Tablet PC securely into a briefcase or hand-carried
luggage, and keep it separate from toiletries, liquids, and food. Do not pack
it in checked luggage.

Keep the tablet stable during travel. Secure it to prevent it from sliding
around in overhead bins and car trunks.

Traveling by air

Prepare for airport security by charging the battery in case Security asks
you to start the tablet.

Have it hand-inspected or sent through the X-ray scanner, but never carry
it through the metal detector.

Turn off the tablet for takeoff and landing.

Do not check the tablet as baggage.

Modem

Take a telephone cord to connect the modem to telephone jacks. If you
are traveling internationally, take telephone jack adapters or an acoustic
handset coupler.

Take a telephone line protector.

Take a telephone line tester to check for unsafe lines, especially if you are
traveling internationally.

Take remote access information with you so you can connect to your ISP
while outside of your usual calling area. A list of country dialing codes may
be especially useful if you are traveling internationally.
